UKMT Maths Challenge

A group of our students took part in the Regional Final of this year’s UK Mathematics Trust Team Maths Challenge this week. We will update you on their success in next week's Snapshot.

Attendance Matters

Every single day a student is absent from school equates to a day lost of learning. At Corby Technical School we pride ourselves in maintaining excellent attendance. Our target is to achieve and maintain a whole school attendance of above 96.5%. We will be giving you weekly updates on our whole school attendance, the tutor group and house who achieved the highest attendance this week.
